Hillsdale Man Murdered by Islamic Militants

A video posted Monday on a Web site showed the beheading of a man identified as American construction contractor Eugene Armstrong. Armstrong is from Hillsdale County.

The militant group led by Jordanian terror mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi claimed responsibility for the slaying and said another hostage, either another American or a Briton held by the group, will be killed in 24 hours unless all Muslim women prisoners are released from U.S. military jails.

In Washington, a U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Eugene Armstrong's body had been recovered, but the official would provide no information about where or when it had been recovered.
